It's Monday again. Really

I just had the busiest weekend ever....okay- it wasn't really busy, but I was babysitting granchildren the whole weekend. Had both of them for Friday and Saturday over night. They had a lot of fun together, and there were only a few minor family feud moments. Most of the time the kids were playing together pretty well. It was nice to experience. Of course, now it's Sunday night (Monday Morning, really) and I'm exhausted. It's a good thing I don't have to work until afternoon.

Go over and take a look at all the various books that people are reading.

My reading week started out great- I had just finished and reviewed Zoo City, so I was reading Lauren Beukes first novel, Moxyland. Finished Moxyland. Then my reading slowed down, considerably. I started reading Pashazade...and between one thing and another, I wasn't able to get past the first three pages, (which ARE interesting) Then of course, I had the book with me last night in the extra bedroom, along with the two grandchildren...and couldn't find it this morning. I could not stay awake for more than a half hour at a time today though....my granddaughter basically amused herself on the computer, as I dozed on the couch in between being "summoned" to make her food to eat, pour juice, help her on the toilet, etc....Ahhhh the joys of grandparent-hood .LOL.

Whenever I did get a chance to read Sunday, it was from Bone Song. Bone Song seems to be a mix between science fiction and fantasy, and it's quite a mix. I'm only on chapter one, and already I can tell this book is going to be a hell of a book.

That's it for now - Hopefully I'll manage to do a Tuesday Teaser post, which I didn't do last week...And the contest for Nocturne ended with no fanfare Friday. I was so dazed with exhaustion on Sunday, and so busy Saturday that I didn't even think about drawing names for the winner.I'll do that this week.promise.

About Me

I work in a K-8th grade library as a library tech (just one of my jobs). I love working with books, almost as much as I love working with children - sometimes more!
I'm part spanish (Panama)part scottish with mixture of other countries thrown in, born in US. Getting a little older, a little wiser and a little crankier.Two grandchildren, four children, one husband (lol- isn't ONE enough?) two dogs and a cat. I love to read, I love to find new books (new to me), and I'm a little obsessive about buying books. I buy them faster than I can read them. I also love to garden, though it's much harder for me to do so now. I still enjoy having a small flower garden.
